Edie has purchased 12 3/4 feet of fabric so that she can make some rag dolls. According to the pattern, each doll requires a piece of fabric that measures 1 2/3 feet long. How many complete dolls can

Edie has purchased 12 3/4 feet of fabric, which is equivalent to 51/4 feet. Each doll requires a piece of fabric that measures 1 2/3 feet long, which is equivalent to 5/3 feet. To find out how many complete dolls Edie can make, we need to divide the total length of fabric she has by the length of fabric required for each doll: (51/4) ? (5/3) To simplify this division problem, we can convert the second fraction to its reciprocal: (51/4) ? (3/5) The common factor of 4 can be cancelled out between the numerator of the first fraction and the denominator of the second fraction: (51) ? (3/5) Now we can multiply: (51 ? 3) ? 5 = 153/5 Since we can't make a partial doll, we need to round down to the nearest whole number: 153/5 ? 30.6 ? 30 Therefore, Edie can make 30 complete dolls.
